Are these appellate groups profit centers or just mostly prestigious to have?

like

Definitely not profit centers, and in some cases not even terribly profitable in general. It’s a prestige thing. This is why Kirkland was willing to push out Paul Clement a few years ago - they decided the political pushback from clients wasn’t worth the prestige and there was no financial incentive to keep him.

I think they are massive profit centers when you have the experience he does. I remember reading an article that his rate is in the $2000ish/hour

A6 - usually it’s the ratio of associate hours to partner hours. Big investigation or litigation, 2-3 partners 6-8 associates. Lots of hours. Big appeal, 2-3 partners, 2-3 associates. Not as many hours. The appeal is “lower leverage” because there isn’t double/triple/10x the number of associate hours under the partners as in other practice groups.

Stub here with 3 months in. I work in litigation for a AM100 regional office. No issues with hours yet (45% over target) but just learned a 2nd and 3rd year missed their hours goal this year. Should I seek out projects from the transactional team during slow periods to ensure I hit billable, or is that frowned on?
